Application failed because of German birth certificate?

Hi. I just noticed that my eea application received by the home office on 29. July 17 for a residence certification contains an original German birth certificate of my son.

Any other documents are in the English language.

I am a nanny with low income (no tax payer), and applied based on the fact that my son with disability is in education beginning from January 2014.

I am on carer's allowance for my son. My son and me are not British. No father here.

Will they return the birth certificate and ask for a translation or will I have to send a completely new application?

There are other documents that are showing my relationship to my son like school letters and our same second name and mentioned on a deed poll name change certificate.

I cannot apply for permanent residence until January 2019 so this is only for a residence registration certificate.

When I apply for permanent residence later, I can on show I've been tax payer for ca 2 years in full time and another year part time as non tax payer. The rest of the time we depend on benefits.

I included my pvg certificate as nanny in my application. I'm not a registered childminder yet.

I cannot comment directly on your application suffice to say that UKVI are known to reject applications for reasons like not submitting originals or translations. I would recommend you obtain an EU-type birth certificate now from the local authority (Standesamt) which comes in a number of languages, including English. Probably cheaper than getting a certified translation done here. You might be able to apply on the Internet. If they reject you are then ready to re-apply, and it's a useful document to have in any case.

The german birth certificate that I know (for my children) is in German language and also English and other major languages. So, I do not think that would be an issue
